Heating & Cooling System Replacement in Flemington, New Jersey

We service many residential properties in Flemington, NJ. This case study highlights a heating and cooling job we performed for the Tamaroff household. They have a French Provincial home which is quite common in this area.

The Tamaroffs originally called us because they wanted an inspection done on their propane heating system. They were concerned about whether or not the heater would make it through the winter season. As part of our inspection, we assessed their air conditioning system as well. We determined that they needed a complete HVAC replacement, both the heater and AC needed to be replaced.

Problem: The Tamaroffs were using old and outdated furnace. Last winter, they experienced various problems that are commonly associated with using inefficient heating systems. During our inspection, we noticed that their air conditioning system uses the outdated refrigerant, R-22.

Solution: We replaced their HVAC system with a new Carrier furnace and central air conditioning system. The replacement HVAC system is more efficient, uses the government approved Puron® coolant, and will provide a better level of comfort.

We also installed the Comfort™ 16 Central Air Conditioner, model 24ABC6 to replace their outdated, R-22 based central air conditioner. This new AC system uses Puron® as it’s coolant and is fully compliant with the Government’s mandated R-22 phase out. Some the the highlights of this air conditioner are:

Benefits Of Carrier HVAC Systems

Carrier represents the best, first in class, heating and cooling systems in the industry. The Tamaroffs have certainly benefited by having these systems installed and their home will be much more comfortable this year! Carrier HVAC systems offer:

High SEER ratings and high AFUE percentages

Environmentally friendly (Energy Star Rated)

Reduced energy costs

Improved indoor air quality

Increased comfort levels

Carrier Warranty

Carrier offers a 10-year parts, limited warranty that is valid for the original owner on all their owner-occupied residential installations. The Tamaroffs are receiving this limited warranty on their HVAC system with Puron® (R-410A) Refrigerant which starts immediately on the date that we installed the equipment. Carrier’s warranties are some of the best in the industry.

Signs Requiring A Furnace Replacement

There are many signs that indicate the need for a furnace replacement. The Tamaroffs were aware of them which is what prompted them to request an inspection before the winter season.

Age: The first telltale sign when questioning whether or not it is time to replace your furnace is its age. A furnace generally lasts somewhere between 16 to 20 years. When it has reached this time frame, then it has performance and various other issues. It will be unable to keep a consistent, comfortable temperature. This means that some rooms will feel cool, while others feel hot.

To help prolong the lifespan of your heating system, be sure to schedule annual tune-ups. It is best to schedule your tune-up before the winter season however, we can perform tune-ups mid-season as well.

Energy Bills: Another common issue when using an outdated furnace is that your energy bills will go up. Naturally, they will increase as the temperature goes down. However, if your heating bills are much larger than they were the prior year, then it may be time to replace your heater. Old furnaces require more energy to keep your home comfortable and hence, the increased heating costs. New furnaces are much more energy efficient which means that they actually can help reduce your monthly energy costs.

Frequent Repairs: Have you had to repair your furnace in the last 2 years? When a furnace is old, it requires more repair costs. These costs can add up. Additionally, as these repairs are needed, the efficiency of the system starts to lower.

Uneven Heat: As mentioned above, when a furnace is old, it has performance issues. Some rooms will feel excessively hot while other rooms feel cold. If you find that you are constantly adjusting the thermostat to compensate, then it may be time for a furnace replacement. A sign like this can indicate your furnace’s inability to properly distribute air.

Carbon Monoxide: While our homeowners did not face a carbon monoxide leak in their home, this is a common issue with old furnaces. Over time, the process of combustion causes the heat exchanger to crack. This, then, leads to the improper venting of gases into your home. Carbon monoxide leaks are dangerous and can lead to CO poisoning and even death. If you notice a yellow flame on your gas or propane furnace, then it is, more than likely, time for a replacement.

R-22 Phaseout

While the initial request from the Tamaroffs was to inspect the heating system, it is always good practice to assess the condition of the cooling system as well. Typically, it is more cost efficient to replace both the heating and cooling system when undergoing an HVAC system upgrade.

Old air conditioners use R-22, an old, outdated, ozone depleting refrigerant. Essentially, the government has mandated the phase out of R-22 as a refrigerant. Due to the limited supplies, the cost for this is astronomical and it is only expected to increase. Additionally, homes that have R-22 based AC systems will have problems in the future when they need a coolant charge.
